Hospital/Clinic - Portland, ME, US
It used to be that going to see a psychotherapist, counselor, or "shrink" was something to hide from friends and family - something to be ashamed of. Thankfully, our culture has been moving toward accepting the idea that we all need support at different points in our life. The counseling relationship can provide support, guidance, and solutions to the problems that face us. Whether you need counseling for just a few sessions or over a longer period of time, the benefits can effect real, lasting change in your life. When I say "the problems that face us," I mean a whole range of interpersonal, emotional, and social challenges. There are as many different kinds of struggles as there are people. That said, counseling can be a place to sort out confusion, find fresh perspectives, and re-energize yourself to tackle the ups and downs of your life and feel good about your actions. Daybreak Mental Health provides a safe, supportive place to discuss your concerns, without judgement. As each person comes to counseling with his or her own concerns, strengths, ways of coping, and hopes for the future, our counseling will draw from different theories of change to best match your needs.
